| DNA kits I am curious to know what mix my new puppy is..I was told full blooded but I am in doubt as he looks like he has some chihuahua in him. Has anyone used the DNA kits you can order online?..My vet told me it would probably be easier and cheaper if I went that route..I am mainly doing this for peace of mind. |

| I will soon let you know. I too was wondering what Gizmo was. I knew he was a mix but of what. We used a kit we got online for mixed breeds. The results should be back anyday. It was extremely easy to use.

YT 1000 Club Member | I used the Wisdom Panel, which confirmed the Linage documentation. They provide a nice certificate too... http://i246.photobucket.com/albums/g...neakersDNA.jpg

| My Vivi was a stray and I always wanted to know her breed(s). So, my DH gave me a DNA kit for my birthday a few years ago. Found out she was all Min Pin, with no Chihuahua, which surprised me. They are fun when you want to know something like that.

| Drum Roll .................... The results are in !!!!!!!! I am sad to say Gizmo is not a Yorkie ((( Please let me stay anyways????? He is a Chinese Crested Mix crossed with a Rat Terrier. The other breeds found in his DNA are as follows: Chihuahua 17.79% Miniature Schnauzer 8.71% Akita 3.23% Border Terrier 2.69% Dachshund 1.99% Although Gizmo is not a Yorkie we love him so much and he is the perfect dog for us.

| Shipped off my Wisdom Panel mixed dog DNA kit yesterday and I cannot wait until I get back the results. I did this for my mixed dog, ChiChi. I've always wondered what that midget had in him. I'll post the results and his picture when I get it back. Says about 3 weeks turn around. Can't wait!!
